While the disgusting Fake News is doing everything within their power not to report it that way, at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief. This is our Joseph McCarthy Era!

He's absolutely right, we are in another McCarthy Era. But it is the GOP that is driving it. (eom) StevieM Nov 2018 #18
I think he has Bob Mueller confused with Ken Starr. That is what he did back in the 1990s. (eom) StevieM Nov 2018 #19

So says the man (Trump), who was mentored by and then later hired the man who was
Joe McCarthy's lawyer and attack dog, Roy Cohen.

Lock 'em up.

that those lies for the government will get the "intimators" relief.

It is a bunch of BS but don't take it out of context.

Trump is having another tantrum about the Mueller investigation closing in. If Trump would have stayed calm and had any kind of professionalism in his staff, he might actually have a chance of getting out with minimal scathing because we in America do not like to punish powerful people. However, you see Mueller running an extremely tight and professional investigation while tiny hands is running around with his fake hair on fire howling at the moon.

I am sure Trump is considering burning everything down, but he will be burnt by doing anything to kill the investigation.

from this dipshit directly. They in effect get their "facts" from him; their worldview.

I'm actually sure most if not all of you do. But isn't that scary? That gives him enormous power to do something really dangerous when he gets desperate enough. Today I feel like he's almost there.
